XTreme

Yes......but I appear to be in better shape than you Fred! Must be a very shallow gene pools in Ponty!

You better hope you don't end up with one of these!

How you feeling @Pedro?

I must be one of them then!

Really tired today......recovery after an op seems to drain you. Is that right @boboneleg?

I've been busy with work today......unfortunately my head is still a bit bleary! What's happening with you lot?

Take a test!

All done at the Health Centre and it's still healing well. Carlos (the male nurse who's seen me throughout this period) recommends leaving the staple removal till next Monday because the incision was so big. I'm fine with that cos I want to play it safe.

At the Health Centre getting my wound cleaned up and bandage changed.

Actually, if they become strangulated it can be life threatening!

What's happened Saul?

You and me both Tammy!

I told you to come over whenever you want......Hernia or not. But as everybody knows, it'll never happen.

Just WD40? I've heard that toothpaste is actually pretty good on them as well. Cos that's something I've got to do on mine!

They're not in the category of fat Harley geriatrics........but they obviously know what they're like.

Here he goes again! Can you tell me when you rode with me last?

I did delay asking them for a few days.......but they were the most likely bunch to have experience of Hernias.

Just when you think you've seen all the fucking stupid cunts possible on the Internet......new ones turn up. And raise the bar! Background is I posted a thread on the Senior Motorcyclists FB group! It's rare I ever look at it because it's filled with some of the dumbest Yank motherfuckers you can imagine. Usually very old fat bastards struggling with 800lb Harleys. (Disclaimer: I'm not saying all Yanks are like that, because they're not) Anyway, knowing their very limited cerebral capacity I made it very clear what I was looking for! My post was.......I am not looking for medical advice as I get that from my doctor. All I'm asking for is experiences from other older riders who may have undergone open Hernia surgery. Like how long before you went back on the bike, and any issues you may have had when you did etc. Just general feedback on your experiences after surgery. Now you'd think that was clear enough......but it obviously wasn't for those dull cunts! I went back on a few hours later and I'd had about 20 replies like "Goddam it......why are you asking for medical advice on a FB group" and "Nobody can advise you because we're not doctors". The one I found most bizarre was "How can anybody advise you if you don't say where you live?" No point in even replying to thick fuckers like that so I just deleted the thread and left the group. If it was a forum we could have gone in team handed, but some of you are not on FB, and ultimately, FB could have ended up banning some of us from that platform. This forum is the Epicentre of Intellectuals compared to that FB group.

Second time Pedro?

Yes.....it's healing well at the moment.

It's OK......the incision is still clean and it's healing slowly. Still very sore though. It gets checked out at the Health Centre tomorrow morning, with staples removal scheduled for Friday.

Have you taken a test yet?

Will do Ray!

I'm hoping I can get back on the bike by the end of the month! But knowing my luck the weather will probably turn to shit by then!
